Yet I will rebut this runs two directions: there are also a lot of closeted bi's around who do great damage to LGBT causes. Let's take one of my ex-boyfriends: now heterosexually married, the obvious result of his parent's phobias. He's burned all his bridges behind him, highly unstable in relationships and I have very little doubt he cheats with other males on the sly behind his spouse's back. In just two years that I knew him, 9 "knew him biblically", and 7 of those were males. Our ties were largely cut beyond a carefully protracted friendship (on his part to keep me hidden from his parents).
I de-friended him on Facebook right after the 2008 elections. I could no longer bear the hypocrisy of his hateful RW and anti-LGBT re-posts there.
I'm gay. I embrace all support from any who know better. I'd even respect this ex's decision to get married if he hadn't turned into a hateful hypocrite at the same time. I wonder sometimes but not curious enough to find out if that decision lasted.
I've seen a few gay men who have said some reprehensible things towards heterosexuals, even some who are supportive (obviously, or they wouldn't be shopping the Castro, now would they?) and I've given the likes a tongue lashing for it.
However, I've never seen or heard of gays who want to put their discrimination into actual legislative actions unless they are "gays" with something to hide! Certainly the term "gay republican" has become all that much more a contradiction in terms than ever. I do blame society's past discriminations about LGBT for placing a lot of older gay men into the mindset that they can never have any sort of normal or lasting relationship. I'm sad for young guys who may be adopting this attitude at the age they probably should be looking to "settle down". Those my age (50 something) who are still just f***ing around make me a little queasy.
I love, love, love the millennial bi set these days! They finally "get it": that sexuality is naturally fluid. They finally are growing up in a world where our president actually said "It gets better". There seems to be far fewer of those convinced by any RW garbage, thank you Jeebus.
